There are two strategic decisions for you to consider. If you have no interest/desire to promote the benefits of odf, open your wallet and buy m$. Any problems you have with compatibility, legibility, bugs, etc. then become a problem for you to solve by contacting m$. In other words, do not waste LO programmers' time to resolve your desire to use LO as a free m$o clone. As is often asked to m$ fans: have you made a financial contribution to LO programmers to help you to perpetuate m$ file formats, via LO??? Every time you ask such compatibility complaints, please open your wallets! Those that want to continue the dominance of m$ should at least pay for the privilege... If you want to contribute towards reaching a future when "most of the world" are at least _aware_ of odf, you should: (a) send documents in pdf to view or odf to edit and tell your recipients about your use of LO to produce your documents in pdf & odf; (b) send documents in odf11 and tell your recipients that such documents will be visible in m$o but the quality will be poor, otherwise recommend use of LO to view/edit document to high quality. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
